  • Patent number: 10359757
    Abstract: A control logic diagram analysis device that efficiently creates a control logic diagram, and a method thereof. The control logic diagram analysis device includes a control logic diagram analysis rule application unit, a control logic diagram template component generation unit, and a control logic diagram project-specific part extraction unit. The control logic diagram analysis rule application unit sequentially applies a control logic diagram analysis rule to the control logic diagram from a lower layer level. The control logic diagram template component generation unit acquires the control logic diagram analysis rule having an agreement section within the control logic diagram. The control logic diagram project-specific part extraction unit extracts an element in the control logic diagram corresponding to the control logic diagram analysis rule having the agreement section within the control logic diagram.

  • Patent number: 8677367
    Abstract: An execution sequence decision device is capable of efficiently and appropriately determining the execution sequence of processing modules even in a case where those have a closed circuit in the input/output dependencies. A dependence evaluation sub-unit and an anti dependence evaluation sub-unit evaluate the dependence and anti dependence of each processing module in a processing module group. A priority evaluation sub-unit determines the priority of each processing module in the processing module group based on the dependence and anti dependence. An execution order allocation sub-unit allocates the top of execution sequence to one processing module that has the highest priority obtained by the priority evaluation sub-unit.

  • Patent number: 8495054
    Abstract: A logic diagram search device of the present invention includes a movement amount estimation section, a computation element/signal line correspondence calculation section, and a similarity degree calculation section. The movement amount estimation section estimates a diagram movement amount between a criterion diagram and a comparative diagram based on a coordinates variation amount. The computation element/signal line correspondence calculation section generates correspondence between a signal line in the criterion diagram connecting the computation elements that have been objects of a correspondence generation operation and a signal line in the comparative diagram connecting the computation elements that have been objects of the correspondence generation operation. The similarity degree calculation section calculates the degree of similarity between the criterion diagram and the comparative diagram based on the computation elements and the signal lines for which the correspondence is generated.

  • Publication number: 20120136608
    Abstract: A test table generating device includes a unit group input part, an upstream book analyzing part, a unit characteristic acquiring part, a unit characteristic matching part, and a test table generating section. The upstream book analyzing part analyzes an upstream book about a target unit designated by the unit group input part. The unit characteristic acquiring part acquires the unit characteristics of the target unit based on a result of the analysis. The unit characteristic matching part performs matching of the unit characteristics of the target unit, and specifies a similar unit having the same unit characteristics as those of the target unit. The test table generating section acquires a test table about the similar unit, and generates a test table about the target unit based on the acquired test table.
